Hi Yary,

I am not seeing the std out from the command.  I do not
want to capture it with perl.  What am I missing?



C:\NtUtil>perl6 -e "my $proc=run 'dir'; say 'Exit code=', $proc.exitcode;"
Exit code=1

C:\NtUtil>perl6 -e "my $proc=run 'dir c:/NtUtil' ; say 'Exit code=', 
$proc.exitc
ode;"
Exit code=1

C:\NtUtil>perl6 -e "chdir 'c:/NtUtil'; my $proc=run 'dir'; say 'Exit 
code=', $pr
oc.exitcode;"
Exit code=1

C:\NtUtil>perl6 -e "qx ( cmd.exe /C dir );"
<nothing>

Thank you for the help with this,
